We believe in the context of "home, and aim to provide a safe and loving environment to which people always feel welcome to come. We are also equally as motivated to go outside the four walls of the palm house and into the neighborhood and city of abilene.

In addition to this, we host a monthly time of fellowship with local college students with an average of 15 attending on a monthly basis. 10-20 women attend our weekly communication group, either via zoom or in-person, which helps them to identify trauma and how to overcome it. They are also offerededucation and tools regarding self-care, communication and healthy interaction with others. Our ransomed program reaches out to men and women in the sex industry, specifically employees and customers in a local club, 4-8 team members meet weekly to visit the people working in the club. Approximately 30 volunteer hours a month are expended in this outreach.
